Chapter 21 Ye Zheng: What's wrong with you, Mr. Deng? Disgrace you
Qin Heng felt as if he had lost all his energy, and his back slowly fell back towards the chair.
Yes.
For this kind of memorial, the memorials from the Inspection Bureau and Kyoto Prefecture were just a little help between being rejected and passing. It was His Majesty who decided that the six ministries would submit their memorials. His Majesty had summoned him before and rewarded him with a patrol fire detective...
and many more!
What is a Patrol Firefighter Commander?
Rubbish...the lowest of the low!
"It doesn't matter what your official rank is, but what matters is the emperor's favor." Qin Ye, who was standing aside, had already noticed the changes in his son's expression and gave him a gentle reminder.
"That boy is fifteen years old. Nanshi's speech not only spread his talent, but also the Ministry of Rites has been sending congratulatory memorials to His Majesty these days, saying that the emergence of Ye Zheng is a sign of His Majesty's benevolent governance and meritorious education."
"Why is the Ministry of Rites getting involved again? Isn't the Ministry of Rites too...what kind of teaching...what kind of morality...Qing Kingdom values martial arts!" Qin Heng paused three times before finally refutating bluntly.
Qin Ye put down the teacup and looked into the void with a dim gaze. "The Crown Prince's attitude... is hard to describe, but this is a real achievement that is right at your fingertips. What will you do?"
"These people in the Ministry of Rites... are crazy! They are presumptuous of the emperor's will!" Qin Heng gritted his teeth.
Although he was unwilling, he also understood that the trend had already been established and he could not stop it.
"So." Qin Ye slowly retracted his gaze, glanced at his son, and said, "On your grandmother's birthday, you shouldn't have allowed Qin Tao to instigate those guys from the founding of the country. What real benefit would it bring to you and the Qin family if you gave his Ye family face? It only brought you trouble!"
"Heng'er, you must remember that if you can't kill your opponent, there's no need to tear your face apart. Can you kill Ye Zheng? Do you dare to touch him? I really don't understand why Ye Zhong is willing to come to our house to celebrate his birthday, but you are embarrassed... I get angry just thinking about it. Come on, let your old man hit you a few times to vent your anger."
Qin Heng immediately stood up and moved to his neighbor's armchair. Looking at the anger between his father's brows, he felt uneasy and changed to another one.
The father and son were silent. The inner room was silent for a while. He asked carefully, "What about Wu Xi's service as a firefighter..."
"Bullshit!" Qin Ye was furious, and frightened Qin Heng so much that he immediately stood up, ready to run away with his head in his hands.
"Do you think your father is as stupid as you? The incident in Nanshi has caused quite a stir. The three courts are holding a joint trial, His Majesty is making a ruling, and everyone in the court is watching. I have worked so hard to build up a relationship with the literary class, so how could I waste it on such a quarrel!"
"That…"
Qin Heng frowned.
"If you didn't do it, then you didn't do it. Why bother wasting your time on it?" Qin Ye didn't care.
Qin Heng smiled bitterly, fearing that in the eyes of some people, even something that was not done by his Qin family would be regarded as done by his Qin family.
Well, what my father said is right, if it is not done, it is not done.
"But who pushed it?" He really couldn't figure it out.
"Or is there anyone who wants to win over Ye Zheng?"
"Ye Zhong is in charge of the garrison of Kyoto, and Ye Zhong's junior fellow apprentice Gong Dian is the commander of the imperial guards. From top to bottom, the Ye family is His Majesty..."
Qin Heng suddenly raised his head, his eyes showing understanding and horror.
This is... a fight for the throne.
Don't touch it easily.
"Well, my brain is clear now. Why did you think of provoking His Majesty's close ministers before?" Qin Ye chuckled.
Qin Heng smiled.
Your Majesty's close ministers are always referred to as close ministers.
How to provoke someone also depends on the degree.
To be honest, isn't the Qin family your Majesty's close and trusted ministers?
Why were there no people from the Ye family in those three northern expeditions, the western expedition against the barbarians, and the resistance to the invasion of Northern Qi? It was all the Qin family's descendants who were fighting.
"Then let this kid steal the show?" Qin Heng asked, changing the subject.
It was clearly what my father had said before, that their family could not give up even a bit.
The commander of the Bingmasi also belonged to the military troop.
Just watch that kid gain momentum and do nothing?
With the current emperor's behavior, he will probably have to push this kid to compete with his Qin family in the army. Qin Ye's face was vicissitudes, expressionless, and he looked at him deeply, "If he is a capable person, you can't stop him; if he is incapable, it's better for him to go home and be the third son."
Qin Heng remained silent, his eyes hidden behind the red glow seemed thoughtful.
……
'February 26th, the work and rest habits I have maintained for ten years suddenly changed, I feel a little uncomfortable. Of course, I am a serious person. This is not a diary, this is called recording life (hard )! Nothing happened today, everything is calm, Wu Za is not dead, what's wrong with Lao Deng? Don't reply to me, Dis you' (write and burn immediately)
'February 27th, serious people are here to record life again. For everything, preparation is the key to success, and failure to preparation leads to failure. Starting today, we will call in small groups of small guards and firemen from each district to test their endurance, strength, and leg strength... Wu Za is still here, so it's not easy for him to go out. Well, we have screened out many good players. To be honest, the physical fitness of ordinary people in this world is quite good, or do people in Kyoto City have no shortage of food? ' (Li Fen)
'February 28, continue to screen. My second sister came to deliver food today and mentioned that the Dream of the Red Chamber is very popular in Kyoto now. Hey, there are so many lovely rich daughters and noble ladies, how many men in the Dream of the Red Chamber can stand out? Ladies, don't be too disgusted with men and marriage. Never mind, let's see if the civil servant life will be busy in the future. If not, find an opportunity to think about it and write a reliable, two-way novel! ' (Standing and burning)
'On February 29, today, the eunuch Hou came to deliver an oral message that a version of the Qing-style water dragon has been produced and is being tested and tested. Your Majesty loves the people like his own children and cares about the people. This is a blessing for the Qing country! ' (Leave it)
'On March 1, following yesterday, I guided the 16 selected stokers to train. Arm strength and endurance are key, so I mainly trained them with sit-ups, supplemented by stone locks. Very good. The stokers who had meat buns in the morning were very energetic, and the stokers who had pork dishes at noon were even more energetic! ' (Li Fen)
"On March 2, we will continue the drill. There are too many people and too many hands, so we have to keep an eye on Wu Za (draw it). In the afternoon, Eunuch Hou came to convey the order to use the 17th block of Nanshi as a pilot to try out the "Recruitment Law" and sent the first water dragon. This time, the cheers of "Long live" are very sincere. I will immediately submit a memorial, using the Recruitment Law as an excuse to transfer the manslaughter offender Wu Xi; in the afternoon, try out the water dragon..." (Immediately burned)
March
"In late spring, spring clothes are ready; five or six men with hats and six or seven boys bathe in the Yi River, enjoy the breeze in the Wu Yu Temple, and sing on their way home."
On the Shangsi Festival, people purify themselves by taking a spring bath with grass to remove impurities and pray for blessings.
Xining Lane, Mansion
"Your Highness, aren't you going to take action yet?" Xie Bian asked Li Chengze, who was lying barefoot in a chair eating grapes.
"No hurry, wait for others to take action first." Li Chengze shook his head gently, picked a grape with one hand and put it into his mouth, and with the other hand he picked up a copy of "Dream of Red Mansions" and read it carefully.
"It's been two days since Ye Zheng submitted his memorial. I'm afraid Lord Qin won't take action. Over there..."
Xie Bian stopped talking when Li Chengze looked at him.
Li Chengze's eyes returned to "A Dream of Red Mansions". After thinking for a while, he raised his lips to smile. "We can't rush into this matter. Whoever strikes first will suffer. Besides, how do you know Qin Heng won't strike first?"
At this moment, Si Nanbo Fan Mansion
"Sister Yan."
Liu Ruyu held Cui Yan's hand, unable to suppress the smile on her face.
She was dressed very formally today. This was her first time traveling as the eldest lady of the Fan family and her close friends.
"Now, I should call you 'Mrs. Fan', right?" Cui Yan, still dressed in simple and elegant clothes, joked.
"Sister~" Liu Ruyu said angrily. After Ye Ling'er and Fan Ruoruo came out, she immediately restrained her expression and put on the aura of a lady.
"Mother." "Aunt Cui."
"Mother." "Aunt Liu."
Fan Ruoruo couldn't call her "Auntie" anymore.
Liu Ruyu nodded slightly.
Cui Yan's gaze lingered on Fan Ruoruo's face for a long time.
She is graceful, elegant and pretty, a real beauty.
She has a lot of knowledge about the talents of music, chess, calligraphy and painting.
Recently, I also learned that Ruoruo is very skilled in women's skills (needlework, cooking, etc.).
very nice.
"Let's go." She withdrew her greedy gaze and said.
Liu Ruyu and Cui Yan got on the carriage first. Behind them, Ye Ling'er whispered something in Fan Ruoruo's ear, causing the latter's cheeks to become even more red.
